Linked Data Platform 1.0 is a W3C Recommendation

The Linked Data Platform (LDP) Working Group has published a W3C Recommendation of Linked Data Platform 1.0. “Linked Data” refers to an approach to publishing data that puts linking at the heart of the notion of data, and uses the linking technologies provided by the Web to enable the weaving of a global distributed database. This specification defines a set of rules for HTTP operations on Web resources, some based on RDF, to provide an architecture for read-write Linked Data on the Web.

The group also published a Working Draft of Upgrade Insecure Requests. This document defines a mechanism which allows authors to instruct a user agent to upgrade a priori insecure resource requests to secure transport before Fetching them. Learn more about the Security Activity.
